January 1, 2009 – (Waymart, PA)
- The 2009 season is underway for Eddie MacDonald and Grimm Racing.
After a successful 2008 season, MacDonald capped off that season
with the year end banquets for New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the
NASCAR Camping World East Series Champions Banquet in December.

In Concord, NH MacDonald received the Lincoln Electric / Airgas
Track Championship at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway holiday
banquet. The following night at the Champions banquet at Mohegan Sun
Resort, MacDonald picked up two additional honors with the POWERade
Power Move of the Race Award and Featherlite Most Improved Driver
Award in addition to his 7th place season honors.

Now that 2009 is officially here the Grimm Racing team is busy
putting their final preparations on the two cars (“Cupcake” and
“Mackey”) that they will be transporting cross country from their
Newbury, MA and Waymart PA race shops to Irwindale, CA. “Cupcake”
has been cross country twice before for the Toyota All-Star Showdown
finishing 5th last year and “Mackey” is the newest car in the stable
at Grimm Racing. “Mackey” is named after crewmember Robert “Mackey”
McNamara who was with Eddie last year at Irwindale but died
unexpected a few weeks after the team’s return in 2007.

Mackey will be the primary car when MacDonald and crew chief, Rollie
Lachance return to Irwindale with hopes of meeting another goal for
themselves and team owner Rob Grimm.

Upon the team’s return from CA they will continue their preparation
for 2009. Grimm Racing is committed to running the full season in
the NASCAR Camping World East Series starting at the season opener
in Greenville, SC. Prior to the season opener the Grimm Racing #71
Chevy will be making an appearance at the Speedway EXPO in
Springfield, MA on Feb 27 through March 1st. The team operations
will continue to be the same as the 2008 with two race shop
preparing the cars throughout the season.

NASCAR Camping
World Series East
2009 Schedule Announced

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 24,
2008) – NASCAR announced today the schedule for the 23rd season of
the NASCAR Camping World Series East, which will take the series to
some of the top short-tracks on the East Coast.

The schedule
features 12 dates at 11 different tracks across nine states.

"The 2009
NASCAR Camping World Series East calendar continues to feature key
markets and top racetracks throughout the eastern United States,"
said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing director of racing
operations. "The championship represents a challenging mixture of
short tracks, road courses, speedways and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
companion events."

The NASCAR
Camping World Series East will make its first appearance at
Tri-County Motor Speedway in Hudson, N.C., on Saturday, April, 25.
The .400-mile oval joined the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series last
year.

For the fourth
year in a row the NASCAR Camping World Series East season will open
at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, S.C. on Saturday,
April 11. Rookie drivers have taken home the wins at the half-mile
oval the last two seasons – Austin Dillon in 2008 and Joey Logano in
2007.

The NASCAR
Camping World Series East will close out the 2009 schedule at Dover
International Speedway on Friday, Sept. 25 during NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series weekend at the “Monster Mile.” Matt Kobyluck clinched his
first NASCAR Camping World Series East title at Dover in 2008.

The schedule
will once again be highlighted by the annual combination event
between NASCAR’s top developmental series – the NASCAR Camping World
Series East and West – at Iowa Speedway on May, 17. The race
attracted NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers Kevin Harvick and Kasey
Kahne in its first two editions, but was won by a NASCAR Camping
World Series regular each year – Brian Ickler (2008) and Logano
(2007).

A fixture on
the NASCAR Camping World Series East schedule since the Loudon, N.H.
track opened in 1990, New Hampshire Motor Speedway will once again
be the site for a pair of races on NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
weekends. New England native Eddie MacDonald swept both NHMS races
in 2008. The 2009 NASCAR Camping World Series East race dates are
Friday, June 26 and Friday, Sept. 18.

Other 2009
highlights include:

· The series
returns to historic South Boston (Va.) Speedway for the third
consecutive year with a Saturday, May 30 date. Kobyluck won the
inaugural NASCAR Camping World Series East event at the .400 oval in
2007 and Brian Ickler is the defending race winner.

· The series
will return to the Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International for the 14th
time on Saturday, June 6. There have been 10 different winners in 13
all-time races at 2.45-mile road course. The event will be part of a
weekend of racing that includes the Grand-Am Rolex Sport Car Series.

· Saturday,
July 11 will see the NASCAR Camping World Series East return to
Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway for the 26th time in series
history. Trevor Bayne earned his first career victory at the
.625-mile oval in 2008.

· Music City
Motorplex in Nashville, Tenn., will welcome back the NASCAR Camping
World Series East for the third year in a row on Saturday, July 18.
Kobyluck took home the guitar trophy in 2008 with his win on the
.625-mile oval.

· Adirondack
International Speedway in Beaver Falls, N.Y., will play host to the
NASCAR Camping World Series East for the eighth year in a row on
Saturday, Aug. 1. Kobyluck has won three of the seven previous races
at the half-mile oval, including last year.

· The second
road course race of the year will take place at Lime Rock Park on
Saturday, Aug. 15 in Lakeville, Conn. Kobyluck, who swept both road
course events in 2008, is the defending race winner at Lime Rock, a
1.53-mile course which has held 16 NASCAR Camping World Series East
races since 1993.

NASCAR Welcomes
Camping World
As New Series Sponsor For
Its Top Developmental Series

DAYTONA, Fla.
(Dec. 15, 2007) – The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing
(NASCAR) announced today that Camping World, the country’s largest
RV and outdoor retailer, will become the title sponsor for NASCAR
Camping World Series beginning in 2008, entitling NASCAR’s top
developmental series – the long-standing Grand National Division,
East and West Series.

Over the years,
this series has helped launch the careers of many future NASCAR
stars, including current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standouts Kevin
Harvick, Martin Truex, Jr., and David Gilliland, along with two-time
championship crew chief Greg Zipadelli. As the new title sponsor,
Camping World looks to continue the tradition of developing talented
young drivers that aspire to go on and excel in the highest levels
of NASCAR racing. Recent enhancements to the series included a
schedule with an expanded geographic reach, new competition and
cost-containment initiatives such as the new “spec engine” and
composite body, and a lowered age-limit to 16 for drivers.

“NASCAR’s
developmental series are critical to the future of the sport and
Camping World’s participation and commitment is a key to the success
of every short track competitor and operator,” said Brian France,
NASCAR Chairman and CEO. “Camping World is the right sponsor at the
right time, providing a national banner over our important
developmental tours and the NASCAR stars of tomorrow.”

The NASCAR
Camping World Series features cars similar in design and appearance
to those cars competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. The East
Series races in key markets in the northeast, along the Atlantic
seaboard, and as far west as Iowa. The West Series features events
along the Pacific coast, and several western states, reaching as far
east as Iowa, where the two separate series meet for a combined
event in May. Both series run at a challenging combination of short
tracks, intermediates, road courses, and speedways, with a number of
races held in combination with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events.

“NASCAR’s
developmental series has a rich history of drivers, race tracks and
fans and we are pleased with our new role as the series sponsor
during its re-launch,” said Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO,
Camping World. “We intend to use our resources to promote and
support these type of family activities in which our products are
used. We were attracted to this opportunity in order to help
establish an affordable venue for both the spectator family and the
competitor.”

Camping World
currently has extensive involvement in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
It has a primary sponsorship relationship with Kevin Harvick Inc.,
the race team owned by the former West Series champion and current
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star. Camping World’s sponsorship with KHI
includes primary sponsorship for NASCAR Nationwide Series entries,
as well as 19 races as primary sponsor for the 2007 NASCAR Craftsman
Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr., a former West Series
runner-up.

"Camping World
has done a great job raising the level of awareness of their brand
through their involvement with their NASCAR sponsorships,” Harvick
said. “Fans in RVs travel hundreds of thousands of miles each year
to attend races all over the country and they are certainly
passionate about the sport of racing. I think it's a natural fit."

“I think it’s
great that Camping World is getting more involved in the sport,”
Hornaday said. “For them to partner with NASCAR to form the Camping
World Series is exciting news. Since I raced in the West series
earlier in my career and have sponsorship from Camping World now at
KHI, I think they will do great things for our sport. This is a
great series that has produced some really good drivers over the
years.”

In addition,
Camping World has a primary NASCAR Nationwide Series sponsorship
relationship with Richard Childress Racing, and race sponsorship
with three NASCAR Nationwide Series events (Daytona, New Hampshire
and California).
